Ahmed, others return APC nomination forms

Kwara State Governor, Mr. Abdulaftai Ahmed, who is seeking re-election was one of two aspirants who returned their completed expression of interest and nomination forms to the national headquarters of the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday. 

Speaking to reporters shortly after submitting his forms, Ahmed expressed confidence that his performance in the areas of human capital development, economic development, infrastructure and security will translate into votes come 2015.

Ahmed said, “We have a lot of confidence because APC has fully taken over Kwara and to deliver an APC government. Naturally, we have people going in and out but the structure is very strong and firm ready to deliver an APC government.

“My government has touched peoples lives in human capital development, economic development and of course, the infrastructure and most important, security which has made people to sleep with their two eyes closed.”

Earlier, Mr. Okechuckwu Ezeah, an aspirant who is seeking the party’s nod to fly its flag in the governorship race in Enugu State, expressed readiness to rid the state of the over eight years of “the misrule of the Peoples Democratic Party.”

He said, “I’m very much prepared for this battle. I have been in this battle before and I know that PDP is not as popular as people claim in Enugu state and in Igbo land generally, the problem is that they have always excelled on the platform of not credible elections in our state.

“Everybody wants a change in Enugu state. They want a change from non accountability. They want a change from corruption. They also want a change from the suffering of the people.

“Our youths are not employed. Our children study under the Mango trees. Our hospitals do not exist and somebody says there is government in Enugu state. There has been no government in Enugu for a long time.
